Unseen in the thousands of data centres that power the cloud, airlines, banks and business all around the globe is an invisible threat caused by inadequate design, poor cleanliness practices, poor cleaning and perversely over-zealous cleaning.
The contamination to servers, hard disks, connectors and air cooling equipment caused by microscopic airborne particles and gasses can lead to early mortality of equipment, excessive use of expensive energy reducing the reliability of vital services, reducing data centre life expectancy and increasing running costs. This was the conclusion of international industry body The Data Centre Alliance's new 'anti-contamination steering group' this week.
